In this week’s show, episode 106, we have to talk about the fucking election because of fuck. Fuck! Now, grab a beer and help us test the god hypothesis — because, while Fenrir, the Norse wolf-god of Destruction, hasn’t struck us down yet, we are trying his patience! Shea’s Life Lesson This week I learned that vitamin C is Spanish for vitamin yes. Jenn’s Actual Lesson Did you know the Inuits believed in reincarnation? The goddess Pana supposedly cared for the souls until there were born again (but not, ya know, in that Christian way). Crystal from Literally, A Podcast Jim’s Good Gay news Despite generally shitty election news, there are some rays of hope. For example, ironically named homophobic ass muppet and wage gap monger Gerald Gay will no long be a state representative for Casper. But before we get to all that, let’s have a beer!

This Week’s Show

Round Table Discussion We have a new patron, Cervantes, renowned writer of Don Quixote, which in today’s USA seems especially poignant. This week we’ve got Big Gay Jim on to talk about the Trumpocolypse. Voicemail Hello, Wrathful studios. This is Dr. Hannibal Lecter. I wanted to express my appreciation for your tasteful reviews and to give a message to Aaron. I understand that you’re upset that you have no fans, but you must remember that fan is short for fanatic and Aaron you have a fan in me to talk. Up note from Jim…

  • Since 1962 Labatt workers in Edmonton, were allotted 52–12-packs a year as part of their benefits package (in the form of a pre-loaded gift card)
